This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Halo was really fun. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance had me hooked for a long time. Crazy Taxi's also pretty cool. But my favorite console game is an oldie but goldie: Super Mario Bros 3.

Deus Ex : Invisible War for Xbox. I love this game. I played the first one on PC, which was more RPG like, but the world is just so cool in the second one. Then there's the rag-doll physics for the corpses...

Gran Turismo, I've only ever played the first one, but it's been the only game that has tempted me to buy another console. Nobody has made a PC racing game that has the same grin factor yet.

if you like racing games i'd recommend Need For Speed Underground, only the best racing game on the face of the planet!

@ Heltak,

Zelda: MM? Your kidding right?

I liked Duck Hunt and pretty well any shooter game.

I have that game, i dunno. I like gran turismo 3 for ps2 much better. NFSU is so damn frustrating. The rubber-band ai thing is ridiculous. Especially on long races. Your on lap six out of six, having battled your way to first place. Your car has a little too much power, you slide a little too much when coming out of a curve, graze the side ever so slightly, BOOM the computer who was 4 seconds behind you magically accelerates to 800mph and blows past you.

I don't think i've ever had a faster reflex in any videogame than doing start/restart race in that one...

but maybe it was just me.

I like Gran Turismo 3 also, but i don't like how there are TONS of cars, but only a couple good ones. GT4 might be coming out, and it better have some good cars! (Plus, my little sister bit the freakin' disc in half).

Yeah I've tried NFS: U, It was a bit of fun but doesn't hold a candle to GT. The physics were a bit arcady, the upgrades focused heavily on the way your car looked and yet the performance upgrades were generic claptrap.

They really needed to balance that out, like in the original GT you could boost the crap out of your engine for max power but you'd suffer horrible turbo lag in the process.

Deus Ex : Invisible War for X-Box. I love this game.

It's a great console game because it was built specifically with XBox in mind.

Personally, I prefer KoToR on X-Box because it's much deeper than a lot of the crud that comes out nowadays.

*HISSSES UNCONTROLLABLY*
Ps2 and Xbox....
They're all right I suppose, but they're not a patch on PCs.
My favourite console games would be...
Goldeneye (someone had to mention it)

Timesplitters 2 (Goldeneye updated, not quite the same though...)

Conker's Bad Fur Day (absolutely ****ing kick-ass multiplayer. It got crappy review scores though, because most reviewers ignored the MP and concentrated on the profanity, of which there isn't even that much)

Metroid Prime (Brilliant new take on the whole FPS genre- love the scan function, hate the back-tracking)

Star Wars Rogue Leader- Best. Star Wars. Game. Ever.

Advance Wars- Not quite a console game, but the best handheld game the world has ever seen.

KotOR for the X-box, followed closely by GoldenEye, All Zelda Games, Vice CIty, Crimson Skies, and Madden 2004. Time Splitters 2 is great, the Metal gears are ok... I have Halo but I rarely play it, only when people come over to play.

Grand Theft Auto:Vice City...okay!!

Ah yes KOTOR, I'm playing it now. It's such a good game, and such a good port to PC too! I like the mods for KOTOR as well; they're great.

What the hell is KOTOR???

Post Sat Apr 03, 2004 1:26 am

Knights of the Old Republic. It's a Star Wars game set way back before the films. I need to get my hands on a copy, loads of people say it's great
